Prevention and Control of Diseases Quad Chart Assignment
BACKGROUND
According to the most recent numbers available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2012, 224,147 women
and 2,125 men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 41,150 women and 405 men in the United States died from
breast cancer. It is the most common cancer in women, no matter the race and ethnicity. It is the most common cause of death from
cancer among Hispanics, and the second most common cause among White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American
Indian/Alaska Native women.
Considering the current breast cancer incidence, death, recurrence, metastatic disease, risk factors, and treatment options, the Avon
Breast Cancer Crusade continues to search for new preventive strategies to address the growing number of cases around the globe.
The aim of this program is to support innovative, high impact research focused on ending breast cancer. This year, the Avon
Breast Cancer Crusade Research Program seeks proposals to advance understanding of prevention of breast cancer.
You are required by your employee – Streetsboro Department of Health – to prepare a quad chart of the synopsis of the
proposed research for this grant proposal.
**You are highly encouraged to conduct a literature review on breast cancer before preparing your applications. **
Summary of Learning Objectives:
1. Use library discovery tools to identify credible or professional journal articles.
2. Determine appropriate use of data, statistical methods, and laboratory procedures for problem identification and resolution, and
program planning, implementation and evaluation.
3. Summarize information from popular and professional articles.
4. Apply evidence-based biological principles to development and implementation of breast cancer prevention, control, or
management of programs.
PROCEDURE
A. General Instructions

What is a Quad Chart?
A quad chart is a one-page summary of a project that is visual, as well as descriptive. It is a very simple tool but extremely effective
tool used for a variety of planning and communication purposes that explains what a project is all about. It helps to structure a concept
or ideas into manageable pieces so you can define what you do before you start. It is usually used to introduce a new product or offer a
solution to a problem. It helps to streamline proposals or ideas. It is often used in organizational administration, vehicle design, and
government grant applications.
The quad chart presents a brief snapshot of a study across four quadrants of a single PowerPoint slide – thus the name quad. It includes
Project Scoping, Stakeholders and Stakeholder Analysis, Desired Outcomes (Critical Success Factors), and measures of Success
(Secondary Benefits). The upper left quadrant summarizes science issues, approaches and data used. The upper right quadrant is about
the project plans, milestones and progresses. The lower left gives some examples of significant results and findings. The last quadrant
shows the relation of your project with other projects and general science community.

A good quad chart is like an indispensable business card, your 2-minute elevator pitch. It must be readily understandable by a
potential customer or investor/funder.
Quad Chart Cheat Sheet
